Critic reviews
"The 2024 Le Blanc d'Aiguilhe, mostly Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of Sauvignon Gris, is very fine. Pliant and silky, with superb textural balance, Le Blanc d'Aiguilhe shows just how compelling 2024 is for whites. Time in the glass brings out gorgeous citrus and floral notes, while picking on the riper side helped avoid some of the greenness that can mark dry Bordeaux whites. This is a terrific showing from the Neipperg family."

"Gunsmoke reduction, flinty, pale yellow-grey, citrus, lemongrass, on same plateau as the reds, planted in 2019 largely. Quite different in shape and feel to the Clos Marsalette, as is often the case between these two wines. Harvest 9 to 11 September. 20% new oak. 28hl/ha yield, 3.15ph. Some of this Sauvignon Blanc is in fact Sauvignon Gris."

"Green apple, and peas with some asparagus notes. Bright and zingy on the palate - a real lifted expression with drive and vibrancy but not too sharp or too lean. This is calm and controlled beyond the initial lemon, pear and apple aspect with a creamy but cool aspect on the finish. Easy to drink and enjoy with racy acidity but underpinning not overwhelming the fruit. Already bottled. Ageing 20% new oak barrels. A yield of 28hl/ha. 3.15pH."
